The School presents SPACE IN THE CITY in Het Nieuwe Instituut. From 3-23 October the story of The School will be told in 12 chapters. Within this exhibition the organization dissects itself in an attempt to entangle the web of artistic perspectives which it has created over the past five years. How do we connect with a space? How do we keep in touch with each other? How do satellite spaces grow individually while still strengthening their network? Space in the City is an exhibition collaboratively and individually built by 20 artists from The School’s current space Maison Florida.
The School is an organization that researches urban improvement through interdisciplinary and intercultural experimentation and space- making.Since the start in 2017 The School has been organic with its participants and nomadic in its projects and spaces. Trading every time one base camp in the city for its next, and only continuing when new spaces and voices are there to be seen and heard. Milan, Tongeren and Liège have hosted their projects and Hasselt has been the ever returning basis for its urban and didactic research.
The School is currently at its next crossroad, ending one space and exploring the next opportunities.
